Inspection Report Summary for Foothill Retirement

Foothill Retirement Care Home has repeatedly been subject to unannounced infection‑control reviews and a case‑management investigation during the COVID‑19 pandemic. In late 2020 an alleged abuse incident involving a staff member and a resident prompted the agency to conduct a virtual visit and to suspend the staff member pending an investigation. The incident was reported to police and the Long‑Term Care Ombudsman, and the facility was required to provide documentation of the resident’s file and related policies.

The following year, a routine infection‑control inspection confirmed that the home had maintained near‑perfect compliance: 99 % of residents and all staff were vaccinated, all entrances were screened, and PPE supplies were ample and properly stored. The facility also documented procedures for screening new hires and admitting residents, and it had an active system for rapid testing of a single unvaccinated resident. In early November 2021 the agency identified a significant deficiency: the facility refused to release requested financial records to support an audit. A plan of correction was issued with a due date of 11 30 2021, highlighting a risk to resident safety in the absence of transparent record access.

A further inspection in late 2022 reaffirmed the facility’s strong physical‑plant standards. All common areas, resident rooms, and the kitchen met health‑and‑safety requirements, and fire and environmental safeguards were fully operational. The agency noted no new deficiencies during this visit, indicating that the facility had addressed the earlier record‑release issue and maintained its infection‑control protocols in a stable environment.

Overall, the reports show a pattern of robust compliance with infection‑control and environmental regulations, punctuated by isolated concerns related to resident safety and administrative transparency. While the facility has effectively managed COVID‑19 risks, the 2021 record‑release deficiency underscores the importance of continued oversight to ensure that resident data and financial documentation remain accessible to regulators for audit and verification purposes.
